THE CAUCUS.

In spite Of the rain the caucus at the
Court House last Saturday night was
well attended, a number of ladies be-
ing among the audience. w. H. Nc
Clure was elected chairman and D. B.
ID. Shelter. secretary of the meeting.
On motion an informal ballot for may
or was had resulting as follows: Cow
an, "a; Mcclure, Is; Bowlus, 5;
Ewart, .; Coutant, >; Evans, 1; Alt, l;
Hyatt. I. On motion W. A. Cowan
was declared the nominee of the con.
vention. 1t was then agreed that for
the purpose of nominating .councilmen
the city should be divided into four
wards, by East, North, West and South
streets, from each of which one coun-
Gilman should be chosen, and one at
large. \ recess was then taken dur
ing which the representatives from
the various wards agreed upon their
candidate. When the meeting was
again called to order the n. +. ward
presented the name of A. w. Beck; the
n. W., S. I. Ellis; the s. W., G. H.
DeCiute, and the S. T., G. Kreuter.
These nominees were declared the
choice of the caucus. +. J. Thayer
was then nominated councilman at
large, and John Walters, police Judge.
after which the meeting adjourned.
So far as yet appears the ticket thus
nominated gives very general satisfac-
ton. Mr.. Cowan has already served
two terms as mayor and his nomin-
alton for third term is sufficient evil
denee that the people are satisfied
with the work he has done. The gem
tlenen nominated as members of the
council are all men who have managed
their own business successfully and
have the confidence of the community.
The ticket is strong one and will no
doubt be elected.

THE GUERILLA CLAIMS.


In reply to inquiries we have re-
ceived as to the manner in which the
Guerilla claims would be paid, we
give the following provisions of the
law:
The State assumes the payment of
claims for losses which were examined
and certified by the Commissioners APP
pointed under an act passed February,
1875. Claims for the sum of 81 900, or
less, in full; and claims for sums great
er than $1,000, % per cent. OF any
amount greater than 81 600; Provided,
That not more than l,5OO shall be
paid on any one claim; Provided fur
tier, That no claim shall be paid un.
der the provisions OF this act except to
the original claimant, his or her legal
heir or heirs. The auditor will issue
certificates Of Indebtedness, and the
amounts named i'm them will be paid
in installments of 10 per cent. each, be-
ginning February I, 1890, and bear
ing per cent. interest. Proof will be
required by the auditor as to the iden-
tity Of the claimants. The certificates
will be receivable in payment of State
taxes

lowing list of original Allen county

A SHAMEFUL STORY.
Editor Register.

LuttOT AeytSteT.
DEAR Sir Whilst 1 congratulate
you with the improvement Of your IA.
per in the interest of the farmers and
the county, cannot understand how
you can cOnscientiously boom up a
place and invite people to settle here
as long as this county is under the
bane of mob-law. The verdicts Of the
courts are Knocked at. If the sheriff
comes with an order Of ejectment to
put trespasser off, and the real own
er or his tenant on, he is met by mob
of outlaws, using all kinds of threats
against the man who dares take pcs-
session (; and the new conner, not being
used to such bushes, prefers going
back rather than to live amid such
surroundings. This was the case on
Mr.. kasebeer's farm. Again on MIR.
Lees farm, the sheriff put Mr.. Lee in
possession, but shortly after a trespass-
eEskips in, puts revolver in Mr.. Lees
face, aud drives him off (but Mr.. Lee
soon after took the fellow by eurprise
and drove him off.) The same on Mr..
Rich's place. The sheriff moved Her.
rem of and put his goods in the road,
but soon after dark, Roberts, Schmidt,
Laster and others, armed with guns,
came and moved the goods in again.
Three days after the sheriff put him
out, and then Mr.. Rich requested some
of the neighbors to help him dem0lish
the house TO prevent some one else
from moving in and putting him to
the expense of another lawsuit. This
was good move Of the law-abiding
people. to show by their assista nee that
they are determined this thing must
be stopped and that McHenry, Dods,
and others Of that ilk must be made to
understand that to ride about the
country fully armed and masked will
not longer be suffered here. And not
until this thing is settled will the coun-
ty boom. Yours truly,
CITIZEN.
We realise as fully as "Citizen"
does, the misfortune which the League
has brought upon this county. But
We can yet conscientiously invite i'm
migration for the reason that there is a
great deal of land in this county about
which there is no dispute, and because
the League itself is on its last legs and
must soon succumb. The decisions
Of the courts are steadily against them
and those decisions will be ultimately
enforced. Never doubt that. There
may be little buster and some show
Of opposition /; but the law will prevail
In the end.
